Qualified Electronic Signature

A Qualified Electronic Signature (QES) is a type of digital signature that provides the highest level of security and legal validity for electronic documents. It is created using a secure digital certificate issued by a certified authority, ensuring the signer’s identity is verified. Essentially, it functions like a handwritten signature but in digital form, offering strong proof of authenticity and integrity. QES is recognized by law across the European Union and other regions, making electronic transactions more trustworthy and legally binding. It’s ideal for official or sensitive documents requiring robust authentication.
